PPI Reclaiming Discussion part 4

  • Hi folks,

    I have ran a consistently high balance on my RBS credit card and only today I became aware of the fact that I have been paying Payment Protection.

    When I opened the account, Payment Protection was explained to me as being 'cover for extended warranty, goods being stolen that were purchased on the card, holiday or flights being cancelled, etc).

    A quick call to them today has revealed that they this is actually payment protection for sickness, illness, unemployment.

    I have a personal loan with RBS and have never had such cover with them. Also, I have previously had a mortgage with them and again elected not to have any cover. The point I am making is that if I knew exactly what this credit card cover was, then I would never have agreed to it.

    Do people think this is worth raisinh with them?

    I should add that I have had this account and have been charged for this cover for nearly 9 years!!!!

    Apologies if I sound a bit dumb here but I am genuinely shocked that I have been paying this for so long now.

    Hi there,you have no other form of credit with ppi,this a good reason you may have been mis sold.
    The card number is the one you use to make a claim.

    Look here for reasons for mis sell http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/reclaim/ppi-credit-card-insurance#step2


    and if any/all apply to you then put a claim in.
    In this link is everything you need to know about making a claim.

    Hi everyone, getting fed up with the disgusting attitude of these criminal banks ??

    YOUR VOICE NEEDS TO BE HEARD
    Suggest you send a copy of this letter to everyone you can think of who might, just might take notice. That includes Cameron, your MP Milliband, newspapers, TV, FSA, FOS ...... put on your thinking cap !


    Dear Sirs,

    RE: REPAYMENT OF MIS-SOLD PPI POLICIES BY THE BANKS

    No doubt you are fully aware that since the recent court case regarding mis-sold PPI policies, consumers whose money was stolen from them, are struggling to get claims paid.

    The banks are using every stalling tactic they can dream up to delay payments.

    Many banks are just referring complaints back to FOS well knowing that it will create a delay of some 8 weeks in their favour.

    THE BANKS CONCERNED ARE
    BARCLAYS
    EGG
    MBNA
    LLOYDS / HBOS / HALIFAX
    NATWEST
    ROYAL BANK OF SCOTLAND
    CAPITAL ONE
    MORGAN STANLEY
    HSBC
    TESCO
    VIRGIN
    ABBEY / SANTANDER
    .... to name but a few ?

    The FSA seem to lack powers in this matter, The FOS is now getting into a backlog situation

    All the public want, is to be refunded for the money stolen from them in this massive fraudulent scam operated by the banks.
    Out of interest, are the authorities simply not interested in The Fraud Act 2006 to which all the banks are guilty of ?
    If the authorities can ignore the laws, why would you expect the public not to do the same ?

    The banks are currently treating the authorities, the FSA, FOS, the goverment, the courts and consumers with the utmost contempt

    In light of this mockery, how can anyone expect the consumer to have faith in the future where banks and authorities are concerned

    Yours faithfully

    Great letter beamerguy, need to keep bumping it ;)
    Successes
    Sainsbury's/BOS £6,400 Paid :)
    MBNA £3,600 Paid :)

    These are over 10 years old,this is why they have offered you the 3 amounts,if you have the agreements,send these to them (copies) and they will pay you the full redress.
    If you dont then you may have to accept the offers they have made.
